        Firstly, I apologise for telling you something you probably already know but I’m a long way away from the U.S.A. James Fenimore Cooper wrote ‘The Last Of The Mohicans’. A film was produced in the 1990s based on the book. Magua was one of the characters in the book. The actor Wes Studi made the role powerful and menacing. This is my attempt to portray him and to hope I have done him justice. It is 8″ x 7″ on no-name paper all done with one black F/C polychromos pencil. My old camera is not too good but I hope you get the idea. Comments are welcome.

        Drawing is actually darker. Oh well.

            Well I went to the scanner and this is the result. Close to actual.

            An excellent portrayal, Graham, of this character! I remember reading that book growing up, very interesting.

            This is a powerful portrait, Graham! He looks severe and intimidating. Truly an excellent drawing!

                Kay – Thank you – Great film too with beautiful scenery.

                Jenna – Thanks – I’m glad you think I may have achieved some success with his demeanour. Much appreciated.

                Alfred – Almost embarrassed to received a comment from someone whose work in this particular area of true Native American history is so good. Thank you.

                            One scary dude. I would NOT like to meet him in an alley–dark or not. :)
                            Your work is impressive. The hair, especially, and the indication of his left eye.

                                I didn’t see the movie but I definitely recognize Wes Studi. Very good drawing!
